Inland Musicians usher in holiday season with songs
Reservations recommended
for upcoming Echo concert
By TAMMY MALGESINI
COMMUNITY EDITOR
Familiar
Christmas
favorites are featured during
the 21st annual holiday con-
certs of the Inland North-
west Musicians.
From classical, tradi-
tional, Russian ballet music
or a modern classic like
LeRoy Anderson’s “Sleigh
Ride,” music director and
conductor R. Lee Friese has
chosen a program to usher in
the season. Featuring both
the orchestra and chorus, the
event is Saturday, Dec. 7 at
4 p.m. at the Echo Commu-
nity Center, 20 S. Bonanza
St.
While admission is free,
it is highly recommended
that people make reserva-
tions to ensure a seat. The
past concerts have been
extremely popular, playing
before a full house.
“The Christmas concert
at Echo is like going home
for the orchestra and chorale
— we have performed many
concerts there,” Friese said.
“This concert is always a
celebration. It is an intimate
setting and very exciting.”

The Inland Northwest Musicians will present its annual holiday concerts Dec. 7 in Echo and Dec.
8 in Connell, Washington. Reservations are highly recommended for the Echo performance.
The most famous of
Tschaikovsky’s ballets, “The
Nutcracker,” will surely
bring familiar pictures into
your mind, said Sue Friese.
From the Sugar Plum Fairy,
the Arabian veiled dancers
and the well-known Waltz
of the Flowers will transport
you to the world-famous
stages presenting the “Nut-
cracker Ballet.”
The orchestra will change
paces a bit with LeRoy
Anderson’s popular “Sleigh
Ride.” The popular classic
will be conducted by Ash-
ley Walchli. The Hermis-
ton resident is participating
in a conducting apprentice
with the Inland Northwest
Orchestra. Her premier con-
ducting introduction, Wal-
chli received a bachelor’s
degree in music with an
emphasis in piano perfor-
mance in 2016 from Oregon
State University.
The chorus will perform a
selection of Alfred Burt car-
ols that were originally writ-
ten and sent to family and
friends on Christmas cards
in the 1950s, Friese said.
The chorus also highlights
the Austrian carol, “Still,
Still, Still,” arranged by Nor-
man Luboff. The program
also features the combined
chorus and orchestra with
“Festive Noels,” a medley
of European carols by Bob
Krogstad. And, Friese said,
the greatest shout-out of cel-
ebration from throughout all
music history, the “Hallelu-
jah Chorus” by George Frid-
eric Handel.
The program will be
repeated during a Sunday,
Dec. 8 performance at 4 p.m.
at Connell High School,
1100 W. Clark St., Con-
nell, Washington. That con-
cert will include high school
choir students in the sing-
ing of “Festive Noels” and
the “Hallelujah Chorus.”
The Connell performance
doesn’t require reservations.

concert, call 541-289-4696.
